It seems like Emma's okay.

I've been talking to her and the Doctor, he's on his way to her place now, is about a half-hour out.

He's also warning 'Alex' about Mr. Hand - anyone know who that is? Is it one of you?

I know this was posted the 31st but I'm AKA "Alex", but I didn't contact Mr. Hand or anything!

 		...well this isn't good.

Inspector Bumstead has become one of the victims, according to the Interpol site.

Chief Inspector Stromboli has taken over.

(Oddly their first names are both "Frank")

http://inter-pol.wikispaces.com/file/view/4.pdf/160938169/4.pdf

There's also a recording uploaded to the wiki that's the same conversation from when Dr. Schreber called his friend in SF. Two other files were uploaded and then deleted - warning.mp3 and iamjustaman.mp3

 		Daniel just posted on his FB status the equation for the Archimedean spiral (r = a + bθ) which when drawn are 'a way of quantifying human tremor and diagnosing neurological diseases". Dunno

 		I was going to post a new trailhead, but this seems related.

Got this email at 6:17PM.

 		I have had a short correspondence with Emma:
Quote:

Oh, he's enamored with the Archimedes Spiral which has the equation you wrote below. He says it's the perfect maze - and by perfect, he means there's no way out!
You should be careful, you could be next. Are you a scientist of any sort? They're mainly concentrating their efforts on scientists now.
If you're willing could you could call or text Nicko and see if he's still alive and kicking, he also answered the advert that Mr. Hand put in Craigslist.
XXX-XXX-XXXX
-- Emma
P.S. Would you like to create a "calling/texting/email" tree for us, as a way to keep tabs on our friends? It would put Dr. Schreber's mind at ease, 'cause he blames himself for all this! He thinks he caused Mr. Hand to go out and "recruit" people, although he didn't take the bait, himself!

I contacted Nicko, and he seems fine. I would love some help creating this list.

/edit: Edited out my own phone number. That was a first! Smile -ndemeter

I'm very sorry. I didn't realize that wasn't an IG number.

 		I chatted with the Dr. this morning. The important bits are below:
Quote:
Me - I am trying to compile the list you requested. I hope people will trust me enough to give me their information.
Daniel - Then there's that troubling interview with Dr. Hand. I never told anybody but I "lost" two hours that day, I couldn't remember any that happened during those two hours. I couldn't bring myself to tell Emma, she worries about me too much already
Me - Oh dear. That is troubling. Were you in the same spot when you woke up or had you moved?
Daniel - Can you blame them, they've already had a scare put into them by me telling them not to give their contact info to anyone!!
Me - lol! I don't blame them. I was just checking to make sure I understood Emma correctly when she said the list would make you feel better.
Do you think you went anywhere or moved during those 2 hours you lost?
Daniel - Emma's wrong, she's only doing what she thinks is in my best interests.
Me - What about the Archimedean spiral? The doorway to the sun? Who would want to go to the sun??
Daniel - It could be interpreted as a doorway to anywhere, I was just being cute!

He never did answer my question about where he woke up after those lost two hours. I wonder what happened in the two hours the Dr. lost.
And, I'm not sure exactly what he meant by "Emma's wrong." I wonder if Emma wants the list for a reason other than making the Dr. feel better. I wonder what will happen if I do get her that list.
Update: I posted an IG request for contact information. I figured if it is a set-up we'll never know unless we play along, and if Emma really is compiling the list so she can check up on us and make sure we're safe then it probably is a good idea.

 		Are others getting these emails, or am I the only lucky contestant?

Subject: Something odd

Detective Molinaro -

I was told by Inspector Bumstead to report anything strange that happens. I was sent a package with no return address, I opened it up (foolishly, I admit) with this in it (attached image - that's my hand is holding it up). I know I shouldn't have touched it without contacting interpol first.

I was curious about the function of the syringe, it looked like it was made to pierce the skull and deliver something liquid into the brain. I'm sending it to you, along with the box that it came in. You can test it forensic evidence, or whatever.

I understand that I am a suspect, but I'm cooperating.

(Image attached below)

I'm wracking my brain to think who might've sent it to me! I sense a more sinister power at work here, I just have a gut feeling.

Quote:

Dr. Schreber,

I found that syringe very imteresting. If you think it really is related to the case, try to think about who could have sent it to you. Also, think about how it can be used: if someone sent it to you, that person may think it could ne useful for your investigation.

It is true that you're still a suspect, but your collaboration is important too.

Inspector Iván Molinero

 		New mail...

Quote:
From: Daniel Schreber to Emma
Subject: Wish me luck!

I'll be going in to Interpol HQ (which happens to be in the FBI building) at 1pm to be questioned about my activities. If I'm never heard from again, don't worry I'm in "good" hands.

Anyway, that's where I'll be, Mr. Hand didn't abduct me! Although, I might be on a white jet to Syria being "extraordinarily renditioned" LOL


Not to nitpick, but the "Interpol HQ" is in France. The US representation is the USNCB ("U.S. National Central Bureau of Interpol"), which arguably isn't a part of INTERPOL and serves only as the representative and "national point of contact" between the U.S. Department of Justice and INTERPOL.

Both the USNCB and the FBI have their offices in the Robert F. Kennedy Building (Department of Justice headquarters) in Washington, DC.

 		The Pre-Publication Party just began, but I seem to be the only one there and I'm a little out of the loop. Work and life have been kicking my ass recently; is anyone else on who can steer the conversation?
